Did you get CVs? I'll trade for the IS haha

 

I’ll trade the 99 for that, works out perfectly

 

Yes I got axles and the frame reinforcement stuff and buckets reinforcement. As well as some adl

 

The total chaos bucket reinforcements are useless trash that make it harder to install UCAs. The reinforcements you need aren't sold, they have to be made.

 

Fit my 96 despite what Amazon says.check the sticky

 

I guess you might know better than Amazon

 

A few other companies (maybe 1 or 2) offer those gussets for the coilover bucket.

What's the better, hand made setup look like?

 

Go venture into the what broke thread,

 

Why? @Running Board Man posts it all here any way

 

There's the TC UCA/Bucket gussets... Those address a problem that doesn't exist. Then theirs the little round weld on top hat reinforcement, that poorly addresses a real problem, just falls short of fixing it. What I have planned is essentially a fold together coil bucket that slips over the existing one because the cracking that happens at the top ring needs to be braced much further than the footprint of the coil top. Then you need to come up the back of the coil bucket from the bottom of the frame with some triangle (extended in a sort of square notch shape to integrate with the frame) to keep the bucket from bending in toward the engine.

 

lol, you can see what actually breaks from people wheeling hard

 

<3 James but he isn't allowed to comment on what actual wheeling is like and what breaks

 

I do recall seeing a thread where it cracks up top; reminds me of the '67 Mustang I sold my neighbors kid many years ago.

The front suspension buckets/etc. cracked through and I was going to deploy anyway so I cheap sold it. Not sure whatever happened to that car...sounded sweet.

 

The only thing I do that’s hard on my truck is leave it parked for months at a time

 

Read it again and that's a real smart way to add strength. Pain in the ass to reinforce and weld that piece on the inside to prevent the bucket from collapsing in towards the engine bay though...

 

That's why the engine has to come out. I'm not into half assing shit like this, you do it lazy and you get stranded.

Bruh half ass and then play dumb when it breaks duh
